Belta of a day so I blasted up the A1 to Felton after work. Parked at a farm east of Felton village and made my way down to the river. It is an idyllic place, very peaceful.
Anyhows, wallked downstream to a large gravel bank and fished my way back up to 'the way through the woods'.
Managed a few wild fingerlings to a home-tied coot wing spider pattern. changed to a PTN and Waterhen Bloa set up and snagged a few more.
Was casting into a pocket of still water under some branches when I felt an 'odd' pull/snag, out pops an otter looking more surprised than me, spies me and rockets off. That could explain the lack of fish?
Next stop upstream of Rothbury I think.
